Solar eclipse of February 23, 1906
A partial solar eclipse occurred on February 23, 1906. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
Looking again at the eclipse chart you will note that Pisces Solar Eclipses also accompanied quake activity in 1906, 23, 42, and 79 when the moon reached it's minimum declination. This means that California quakes occur near times when the moon reaches it's maximum and minimum declination, when the moon's ascending or descending node is in Pisces. I suggest a 9.3 years cycle, and while not disagreeing with the Moon Max theory, recommend that a more useful analogue might link to solar eclipses.
